Journalism at its pinnacle:

"his 1991 Subaru 300Z with Nitrus boosters can get up to 400 horsepower"

DamM, wish I could buy me one of them!

 

[87grandnat]

YEAH putting 4 grand in it, on top of the 25 that it costs!!!

 

[MistaScott]

I thought WRXs were about as fast as a stock GN. After $4,000 invested it is still running stock times?

I wonder if he took the turbo off???

You would think he would be at least accurate with the car names WTF is a subaru 300 Z?? lol i know their first car was a 360 and if u want a good laugh look it up...

 

[buickpower]

punks like that give mechanical engineering juniors a bad name wtf is a "nitrous booster" . gimme a break

"sitting at a traffic light in your Geo Metro. A car pulls up next to you, windows tinted, strobe lights flashing and subwoofers pumping; just for a second, you think, "I can take him."


BWAAAAHAHAHAHA i stoped reading here. rediculous

 

[blackbird]

14.2??

WTF?? i thought they were that fast right out the box?? what a gimp.

 

[1000MileStylez]

if they're mechanical engineer's , i must be a NASA Scientist.

 

[kh440]

Am I th eonly one who caught the fact that for a "college"paper there seemed to be an awful lot of spelling and grammar errors (Spellchek werks for me reeel gudly)......frikkin retards

 

[Greasemonkey]

Ughhh....I feel dumber.

FWIW, its pretty amazing the lack of knowledge a lot of ME students have about some stuff. The Purdue ME dept has a cutaway '03 Cobra engine sitting in one of the labs, and its interesting to watch some of the other MEs look at it and say "What's that?" while pointing at the some pretty obvious stuff.

 

[buickpower]

yeah, same type of stuff here at clarkson univ. I swear half of the kids here know only the stuff we learn from books.

 

[denn454]

thats three minutes that i will never get back... what a waste of my time, but its funny to think of how much of HIS money he wasted! I barely have more than $4000 in my whole car and i'm faster than him,and thats with all my car's problems!

what a joke.

 

[ncgreg231]

thanks for the comments b/c I decided not to read the article altogether!

 

[wlaukaitis]

OK, $25,000 for the car, $4000 to go 14.2 and he wants to go 10's? Add on another $15,000, if not more.

Hell, I'd buy a nice new GTO for that kind of moo-laa.

 

[turboscott]

All of the topics mentioned above are funny but what I found the funniest is they made sure to mention CD changers, touch screen computers, wheels, rims, etc... As if any of that makes the cars faster. The topic of the article was fast cars, this stuff had no relevance.

 

[Inneedofabuick]

Pavlik doesn't have to worry much about being out-performed; his 1991 Subaru 300Z with Nitrus boosters can get up to 400 horsepower.

lol "Nitrus boosters" sounds like some sort of super advanced NASA project.

 

[1badTTA]

It just goes to show that you can buy a degree, but it certainly doesn't make you smarter. They call people like this educated idiots.

 

[DCEPTCN]

Okay, sorry- but as soon as he spelled Knight Rider incorrectly I was done with it.....that's just bull.

 

[denn454]

here you go, found it in the dictionary...

nit-rus boo-sters: nown, ricer origin

1.to boost the hell outa da engine dude! 2. nozzels attached to the rear bumper 3000psi shooting out the back of the car will make you faster.
